Four of the world’s greatest national parks
Komodo
Location: Indonesia
Area: 1,733km
Home to the world’s largest lizard (蜥蜴), the Komodo dragon, Komodo National Park is made up of 29 islands in the centre of the Indonesian archipelago (群岛). The park’s three main islands of Komodo, Rinca and Padar make ideal destinations for divers, as the surrounding coral reefs support a vast amount of oceanic diversity. With over 1,000 species of fish, 260 species of coral, and countless sea animals, this is an ideal spot to swim with sharks, whales, dolphins and more.
Namib-Naukluft
Location: Namibia
Area: 49,768km
In the world’s oldest desert, the landscape moves. The golden dunes shift as winds blow and seasons pass. Visitors come to explore the dunes and it can be a real adventure. Jump in a 4×4 or hike across the sands on foot for a multi-day trail and you’ll soon find yourself deep in the Namibian wilderness. You’ll need a permit and doctor’s letter to take on the longer hikes, but one-day hikes give anyone a chance to see more of the Namib.
Tongariro
Location: New Zealand
Area: 795km
As New Zealand’s oldest national park, Tongariro National Park is home to three active volcanoes. And here’s the Tongariro Alpine Crossing, a 19.4-kilometre hike that takes you across beautiful landscapes. This park also draws in skiers during the winter seasons. The biggest ski area, Whakapapa, covers 5.5km and has 15 lifts in all.
Teide
Location: Tenerife, Spain
Area: 190km
This park is home to Mount Teide, the highest peak in Spain. With a height of 3,718 metres, Mount Teide is also the third largest volcanic structure on the planet. Besides, Teide National Park possesses unique plants. The most unusual among the 139 recorded species is red bugloss, which has become the symbol of the park.

In early December, the US broke a terrible new record: 38 mass shootings in a single year, in which 203 people have died. This beat the previous record of 36 mass shootings, according to The Guardian. But why is there so much gun violence in the US Although the issue is complicated , there are three big reasons: too many guns, weak gun laws and loopholes (漏洞), and cultural factors .
The US has a lot of guns – 120.5 guns for every 100 Americans, according to a 2017 survey . In other words, there are more guns than people in the US. This makes it easier for people to get guns.
Although US federal law says certain people can’t buy guns, it’s still fairly easy for Americans to buy them anyway, said Vox. A big part of this is loopholes in gun sales. In the US, when you buy a gun from a licensed shop or at a gun show, they have to check your background. But if you buy from a private seller, they don’t have to do that. Even in those cases where a background check is made, it can only take up to three days at most. If the seller does not receive a clear answer within three days, the seller can still sell the gun, reported CGTN.
The US also has a unique gun culture, influenced by the Second Amendment(第二修正案) of the US Constitution. Some people believe it gives them special rights, making them refuse to give up their guns for the greater good.
Despite these challenges, around 60 percent of Americans think gun violence is a big problem and want stricter gun laws, a 2022 Pew Research Center study said. But it’s unclear if US lawmakers, who listen to powerful gun groups like the National Rifle Association or Gun Owners of America, will make changes.
24. What are the main reasons for increasing gun violence in the US
a. the high ownership of guns b. the weak laws on buying guns
c. the light punishment on gun violence d. the right to have guns in the minds of Americans
A. abc B. abd C. acd D. bcd
25. Those who are not allowed to have guns _____.
A. won’t have any chance to buy guns B. can purchase guns with a special license
C. can purchase guns from private sellers D. can buy guns by showing their background
26. In the writer’s opinion, to keep gun violence under control in the US is _____.
A. meaningless B. costly C. tough D. possible
27. What’s the structure of the story
A. B. C. D.
C
TVB’s 56th-anniversary show, The Queen of News , has become popular across the country. It stars actors Charmaine Sheh and Kenneth Ma . People enjoy talking about its plot and copying its pointed lines.
The show got 8.2 points out of 10 on the review website Douban. Telling the stories of news reporters competing for the top spot during golden time , some said, the show was a bit over the top. But the fantastic plot where the main character overcomes challenges on the way to success is loved by many.
The Queen of News is a so-called “feel-good drama ”, a type of drama that has become more and more popular in recent years. But why do people enjoy such dramas so much One of the reasons is that the plots in these shows are easy to follow. They often tell stories where the main character goes from facing difficulties to seeking revenge (复仇) and, in the end, earning respect and success.
This kind of show allows people to forget about their worries and challenges in life and feel happy while watching them. Han Ning, a psychological counselor who works in Nanjing, told the Yangtze Evening Post that feel-good dramas can help with mental health . These shows can meet the emotional needs of the audience. They also help people lower their anxiety and stress levels.
However, some people worry that feel-good dramas may lead people to look at life in an unrealistic way. If people look too deeply into these big personality changes of characters and the excitement of the story, it may affect how they think they should live their lives, noted Guangming Daily. The newspaper added that these dramas should cut out the over-the-top parts that are larger-than-life.
28. Which word is closest in meaning to “over the top” in Paragraph 2
A. sharp B. dramatic C. competitive D. unrealistic
29. What do we know about “feel-good dramas”
A. Their plots are close to real life. B. Their plots are easy to follow.
C. They star the most popular idols. D. They usually get high points on Douban.
30. Why are “feel-good dramas” popular according to Han Ning
A. Because they help the audience release stress.
B. Because they come from and are used in life.
C. Because they teach useful life lessons.
D. Because they let the audience feel respected.
31. What idea might Guangming Daily agree with
A. People shouldn’t watch “feel-good dramas”.
B. The dramas should promote more realistic views.
C. We should closely watch the qualities of the dramas.
D. It’s good to watch “feel-good dramas” sometimes.
D
“George,” he (Dobbin) said, “are you going to marry Amelia or not ”
“Is that any business of yours ” George asked angrily.
“Yes, it is, George, because you’re ignoring a sweet girl. You should have seen her sad little face when I visited the other day. Go and comfort her, you bad fellow, instead of spending all your time in gambling houses (赌场) when you’re in town.”
“I’m very fond of Amelia, of course I am,” said George, “but – but a man must enjoy himself before he gets married, you know.”
“Go and see her,” said Dobbin, “or write her a long letter. Do something to make her happy. It won’t take much.”
“You’re right. Yes, I’ll go tomorrow. It’s true, she is very fond of me,” George said, in a self-satisfied way.
He did go to see Amelia the next day, and Dobbin even lent him some money to buy her a present. George probably would have done so, but on the way to the Sedleys’ house, he saw a very nice diamond shirt-pin, and he bought it for himself.
When he arrived, Amelia’s sad little face lit up in the sunshine of George’s smile. She ran to him, and George kissed her fondly on the forehead and was very affectionate (满怀柔情的) with her; and she thought his diamond shirt-pin was the prettiest thing ever seen....
He was late home for dinner, and found his father in a very bad mood and his sisters and Amelia eating in nervous silence. When the ladies had gone up to the drawing room, leaving father and son to their wine, George watched his father’s face anxiously. He needed urgently to ask his father for money, to pay off some of his debts, but when he carefully raised the subject, he did not get the explosion of bad temper he had feared.
“Well, well,” Mr Osborne said, “young men will be young men. I know you’re mixing in the best society, and I like to see it. You have to pay your own way, and my money’s as good as theirs, George my boy. You can call at my bank tomorrow.”
George was relieved and properly grateful, but it seemed that the old gentleman had something else on his mind.
“That little girl upstairs – Amelia,” he said. “What do you intend to do about her, George ”
“Well, it’s clear, isn’t it ” George said. “She’s very fond of me. Anyone can see that. And didn’t you order me to marry her, and don’t I always obey you ”...
“Things have changed since then,” his father said, frowning (皱眉). “Sedley’s business is not doing well. I’m not sure that he can pay the money we agreed on for the marriage settlement . In fact, unless Sedley can pay me ten thousand pounds now, there will be no marriage between you and Amelia Sedley.”
32. How did George feel about Dobbin asking whether he was going to marry Amelia
A. Puzzled. B. Embarrassed. C. Annoyed. D. Hurt.
33. What did George do with the money Dobbin lent him
A. He gave it to Amelia as a present. B. He used it to pay off his debts.
C. He lost it at a gambling house. D. He bought a gift for himself.
34. What did Mr Osborne think of George requesting money
A. It was worrying. B. It was disappointing.
C. It was understandable. D. It was unreasonable.
35. What condition did Mr Osborne set for George’s marriage to Amelia
A. Amelia’s agreement. B. Ten thousand pounds from Sedley.
C. Sedley’s business success. D. George’s obedience to him.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Sometimes our friends’ behavior can offend (冒犯) us; sometimes we can see changes they need to make —but how do we tell them 36
It’s important to have solid evidence that there is indeed a problem. Evidence that can be agreed upon makes it easier for other people to recognize issues. 37 Psychologist Andrea Bonior suggests framing problems with “I”. Saying “I feel hurt that you spend less time with me” is less accusatory (谴责的) than “You never spend time with me!” and is focused more clearly on the impact.
38 Becoming tense might lead you to react badly and cause an argument. Bonior recommends that you should acknowledge the conversation could make you anxious. If you think about this yourself, it can help you focus on positive results. If you admit your anxiety to your friend, you will show a more human side. Another psychologist, Laura Brennan, points out how it’s important that we let go of our ego (自我) and don’t focus on the need to be proved right. This can help reduce tension.
39 Many experts recommend planning your words so that you can say things in a way that avoids conflict. However, Bonior cautions against overplanning, as this can stop you from being flexible enough to genuinely follow and participate in the discussion.
Be realistic. Complicated problems are unlikely to be solved with one conversation. Consider what is possible in one discussion and that it may be harder than you initially thought. 40
A. Staying calm is vital. B. Are there any ways to make difficult conversations easier C. Some people like to gather evidence to support their concerns. D. This will help you to set realistic goals for what you can achieve. E. Once you have proof, it’s important to highlight how it impacts us and others. F. Should we always be completely honest with our friends about their behavior G. We can lower the potential for conflict by listening to the other person and asking questions.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Many organ transplants (器官移植) come from those who are blood relatives or close friends. It’s rare for a person to make a living organ donation to a stranger. Not surprising when you consider the surgical risks and other potential problems.
That’s what Paul Wagner thought until he read an article about Matchingdonors.org, a website that connects people who need transplants with those willing to be donors (捐赠者). Paul grew up in a poor family and admits to making many mistakes in his youth, including using drugs. “But I always got another chance,” he said. Paul said help came when he needed it most, and because of that, “I wanted to give someone else a chance.”
That someone turned out to be former opera singer Gail Tomas, who was suffering from kidney (肾) failure and badly needed a new kidney. But her hopes for a donor were so slim because of her O+ blood type. Paul, also type O+, emailed Gail, offering to donate his kidney to her. He said, “It would have been wrong for me not to help.” That attitude, however, was not shared by most surgeons, who refused to participate. The surgeon who agreed only did so after long interviews with Paul to be certain about his motivation. The transplant finally took place on National Donor Day.
Afraid that Gail and her family would feel tied to him merely out of appreciation, Paul made it clear to Gail that he didn’t want to get to know her. But Gail insisted on making friends with him and was trying to find an opportunity to break down the barriers to their friendship.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；

Dear Eric,
Hope this email finds you well. I am writing to seek your guidance in improving my English reading skills, particularly in English novels.
To improve my English, I started reading English novels now, but numerous new expressions prevented me from reading fluently and acquiring complete comprehension. To address the problem, I referred to a dictionary and consulted classmates. However, I have yet to achieve the desired results. Thus, I wonder whether you, as a professional English teacher, could provide me with some practical strategies.
I would appreciate it if you could offer some suggestions. Looking forward to hearing from you.(100 words)
Yours,

Then Gail’s first birthday after the transplant was drawing near and she got an idea. She reached out to Paul and extended an invitation to her birthday party. When he refused,Gail's heart sank. "You've given me a second life, Paul," she exclaimed, her voice filled with both gratitude and disappointment. "How can you refuse to come to my birthday party It would be meaningless without you.". Amazingly, Gail’s words worked! Paul knew she was talking to him from the depths of her soul. So he accepted the invitation and they finally met at Gail’s birthday party. (81words)

第一段：移植一周年之际，盖尔邀请救命恩人保罗参加生日派对。保罗最初拒绝，盖尔恳切挽留，保罗终被感动，赴约参加。（可提保罗最初拒绝，为制造情节带来悬念）
第二段：生日派对后，盖尔与保罗友谊日深，经常分享彼此的喜怒哀乐，患难与共。“我从一个愿意赠我珍贵礼物的陌生人那里找到了一位挚友，怎能不珍惜这份友谊？”盖尔说。保罗则表示：“我失去了一颗肾，却收获了一位真挚的朋友，值得。”二人的友谊建立在爱与善意之上。（不必拘泥于范文，情节合理即可，但要突出积极主题。）

M: Good morning. Welcome to the Orientation for New Students. The topic today will be off-campus housing. This is of interest to those who don’t want to live in student housing and are not familiar with our city. First, let’s talk about where to look for an apartment. There are some places that I don’t recommend. You might think the neighborhood of the university would be a nice place. However, it’s probably not a good idea because that is one of the most expensive areas of the city to live in. The downtown area is a popular place to visit; however, that’s not a good place to look for housing either because it’s a commercial area with very few apartments. It’s also far from the university. So, where’s a good place to live The apartments in the uptown neighborhood are good. The prices there are quite low, and many buses go there, so it’s very easy to get to the university from there. The Greenfield Park neighborhood is popular. It’s closer to the university, but not many buses run in that direction, so you’ll need a car if you choose to live there.
